Dangerous Goods Awareness Course
A dangerous goods awareness course is legally required for team members that are involved in the transport and/or handling of dangerous goods, from office and sales staff to transport and warehouse teams.
Our dangerous goods awareness course, provided instantly online, brings team members up to date with all that is needed to ensure your team members have a basic understanding, while meeting your legal requitements.
The course provides an overview of regulations, the recognition of dangerous goods and the hazards that dangerous goods present to people, property and the environment.
The course can be taken on multiple devices. Users can work at their own pace as a single sitting, or over multiple sittings, and upon completion of a short multiple choice test, DGSA approved certificates can be downloaded online.
